NFHS posting local, national job searches

If Colorado high school sports administrators wish to look elsewhere for openings or out-of-staters are looking to come to Colorado, the National Federation of State High School Associations may have answers.

Prep administrators anywhere in the U.S. can conduct national searches through the launch of the NFHS High School Career Center. In addition, job seekers can post a rèsumè and search the listing of jobs free of charge. It’s located on the NFHS Web site and can be accessed at careercenter.nfhs.org.

“With the high turnover rate of high school coaches and athletic administrators, the NFHS wanted to provide an easy way to connect schools with potential employees,” NFHS Executive Director Bob Gardner said. “The ultimate goal is to assist athletic departments in finding the right person for every job.”

However, there are fees. They start at $200 for a 30-day posting.

Once an account has been created and a job posted, employers can search rèsumès and have qualified job seekers’ information e-mailed to them automatically. Job searches can be done by keywords and location, and job alerts can be created to send e-mail alerts when a job is posted that matches their requirements.
